Weekly Bulletin

Greetings, Rotarians,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!

New Meeting Schedule

Due to ongoing low meeting attendance, the Board has decided to reduce the number of club meetings to two per month - an evening meeting on the first Wednesday of the month at 5 p.m. at Pat’s Pizza and a lunch meeting on the third Wednesday of the month at 12 p.m. at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel. Therefore, there will be no meeting on October 29^th.

Holiday Party

Our Holiday Party is scheduled for Wednesday, December 3rd. A couple of concepts have been suggested for the party, and we are looking for club members to serve on a Holiday Party committee. If you are interested in serving on the committee, please contact Annette.

Please let me know if you have any news or announcements for next week's Bulletin.

Have a good week,

Martha

Bulletin Editor & Club Secretary
